Chapter 2078： Enhance 1 Habsburg family strength

Genius remembers this site address in one second: [] The fastest update! No ads! It is also good for people to attract firepower in the front. Just like later generations playing online games and letting tanks carry monsters, they had to fold them with the thickest armor before, so that they could withstand the most venomous blows.

Therefore, in order for the Habsburg family to attract the attention of all Europe and help Marin share the firepower, it is necessary to strengthen the strength of the Habsburg family.

Before, Marin had not tried his best to support the emperor out of consideration of balancing his strength. This has also led to the fact that although the Habsburg family currently controls the eastern part of Switzerland, they have not been able to occupy the western part, and have formed a confrontation between the east and the west with the Swiss Resistance Army. With the support of France and the princes, the Swiss Resistance Army led by Zieger often fought back. It was also thanks to Marin who provided a lot of cement to the Habsburg family and repaired a lot of cement fortresses, which prevented the Swiss Resistance Army from advancing eastward.

Today, the Habsburg family still retains 2 ten thousand troops in eastern Switzerland, and the commander is still Marin's former subordinate Frenzberg.

Speaking of it, Frenzberg was “indispensable” for the hostility of Marin by the German princes. Because Frenzberg was once a general under Marin's command, and later turned to the emperor. This is actually a betrayal, but because Marin is still under the emperor in name, it is not easy to accuse Frenzberg of betrayal.

But the German princes obviously didn't think so. They believed that Frenzberg was Marin's general who actively supported the emperor, indicating that Marin was still willing to be the emperor's running dog...

Marin was hard to argue with, and because of his humble background, he was not accepted by mainstream princes. Therefore, he simply faced it in silence without making any excuses. Because it's useless to justify. Some people, once they look at you with colored glasses, no matter how hard you work, you will not win their favor and approval. Just like later generations facing the rise of China... Europe and America... alas...

Frenzberg was able to bring a bunch of German mercenaries of varying levels to a tie with the mighty Swiss and French mercenaries, relying on the Spanish phalanx he learned when he was mixing with Marin. Of course, it is now called the Marin Phalanx.

But because of the early departure, Frenzberg did not learn about the subsequent tactical improvements and even the improvement of weapons and equipment of the North Sea State's army.

It is precisely because of this that the army of the Habsburg family is currently inextricably matched with the less regular Swiss Resistance Army.

At present, the biggest problem for the Habsburg family is insufficient funding. If the money is enough, the Habsburg family can maintain an army of 30,000 to 50,000, and it can gain the upper hand in the face of the Swiss Resistance. It is more difficult to completely defeat the Swiss Resistance Army. After all, the Swiss mercenaries have strong combat power, and with the strong financial support of France and the princes, the Habsburg family has no advantage.

Unless, Malincoln truly supports the Habsburg family...

…

In the past, Marin was also afraid that the Habsburg family was too strong, and did not try his best to support the Habsburg family. But now, in order for the Habsburgs to help attract firepower, they can no longer balance their strength. At present, it is in Marin's best interest to let the Habsburgs show off.

So, after returning to the North Sea, Marin sent Caesar back, and dressed up again, pretending to be ordinary cavalry, followed a group of light cavalry, secretly went to Ghent, the capital of the Netherlands, and found someone who was ready to pit it. Object-Young Master Prince Philip...

Why are you looking for this product? Marin has a deep consideration. This product is not as scheming as the emperor's majesty, so it looks like a man, and it is also arrogant and selfish.

To stimulate his ambition to unify Germany, Marin must first strengthen his strength and make him more confident. Otherwise, lack of self-confidence, even if you want to unify Germany, you still dare not express it.

In this world, who is the easiest to swell? Of course it is a nouveau riche suddenly rich! Prince Philip is not weak, but not very strong. Mainly, the native aristocracy in the Netherlands is very strong. Although he didn't completely evade the prince, he could also stand up against Philip. Even if they unite, Philip has to give in.

Why is this happening? Isn’t there no money to make trouble...

It stands to reason that the Netherlands is relatively wealthy. Especially the wool textile industry in Flanders can provide a lot of tax. Although England no longer exports wool to Flanders, tax revenues are greatly reduced. But the lean camel is bigger than the horse, and the financial situation of the Netherlands is still much better than that of the mountain country Austria.

However, because his Majesty the Emperor always borrowed a large amount of funds from him for the war against Switzerland, he was not well-off. Moreover, he has to pay for this money. Because Switzerland took it down and he inherited it. Especially, in the past two years of wars, the savings in Prince Philip's hands have also been emptied. Otherwise, Marin sent someone to buy the Dutch shipyard and transform it into a furniture factory. Can he agree and cooperate? Isn't it because Marin has given him enough benefits?

Now, Marin intends to give him more benefits and encourage his ambition. At the same time, the Habsburg family completely suppressed the Swiss Resistance Army, which really made the German princes and France feel the pressure. In this way, the two forces that made Marin also feel the pressure, had to look away.

…

After arriving in Ghent, Marin visited Prince Philip during the night. Although he was dissatisfied with the interruption of the colorful activities at night, Prince Philip was not a fool and did not dare to neglect the powerful Marin. Moreover, he is also very curious about Marin's arrival. So concealed, the discussion must be a big thing. Otherwise, there is no need to keep it confidential.

Sure enough, as soon as Marin spoke, he had a crit effect...

"What, do you want to provide me with 5000 clockwork muskets and 100 three-pounders at the reserve price?" Prince Philip was a little dazed. This is super-handy, and with this batch of weapons, the army's combat effectiveness will obviously be doubled.

Apart from other things, once the clockwork flintlock is applied to the battlefield, when queuing to shoot, because there is no need to worry about the match rope igniting the teammate’s gunpowder bag, the density of the platoon gun can be doubled. UU reading www. Even if the hit rate of uukānshu.com is low and the density doubles, the hit rate will double if you line up to shoot side by side.

Moreover, without having to bring matchlocks, the musketeers' adaptability to the weather will be greatly improved, which can avoid the embarrassing situation that the matchlocks cannot be used in a little bit of wind and rain.

The 100 three-pounder guns are even more powerful. A frontal bombardment can definitely bring an extremely heavy blow to the opponent.

What's more, Marin not only provided muskets and artillery, but also provided supporting ammunition. Especially gunpowder, because of the expansion of Chile's saltpeter production, Marin now has more gunpowder in his hands.

With this batch of weapons and ammunition, the combat effectiveness of the Swiss Front in Frenzberg will be greatly improved. Not to mention the complete elimination of the Swiss Resistance Army, but it is no problem to firmly suppress the opponent. As long as the Habsburg family army can achieve a greater victory on the Swiss battlefield, it will not be a problem to attract the attention of all Europe...

The most important thing is-Marin allows Prince Philip to pay...

"So, Marin, what is the price?" Philip is not a pure white, such a strong support, for Marin, such a cowardly person, definitely made up a lot of determination. Therefore, Marin must also have a big picture...
